Product Description
Laurox is a widely used initiator for the suspension and mass polymerization of vinyl chloride between 60°C and 80°C. In many cases ,it is combined with a more active initiator, such as a peroxydicarbonate (e.g. Perkadox® 16) to increase reactor efficiency.
Laurox S is an initiator for (co)polymerization of styrene, ethylene, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride and (meth)acrylates. Laurox is used as an initiator for curing acrylic solid surface at elevated temperatures.

Applications
1.an initiator for the high pressure polymerization of
ethylene, but because of its poor solubility in most aliphatics, it is in many
cases replaced by other peroxides such as Di(3,5,5-trimethylhexanoyl)
peroxide (Trigonox® 36).
2.an initiator for the polymerization of
methylmethacrylate at 60-90°C,a replacement for 2,2'-Azobis(isobutyronitril) (Perkadox AIBN).
3.
store at ambient temperature.
